Application filed March 9, 1918.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it knoivn that We, NATHAN G. PERRY and CHARLES E. HULTING, citizens of the United States of America, residing at'Douglas, in the county of Cochise and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and use-- ful In'iprovements in Base-Supports, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to base supports and is adapted to be placed on the ruiming board of an automobile to form a suitable retaining support for different objects and is particularly adapted to be used as a suitable support for a temperature retain-ing canteen as set forth in our pending application Serial No. 207,914, filed December 19, 1917, the object being to provide this support With suitable cushioning means to relieve the canteen of as much jar as possible.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of our device,

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device, and,

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

The support consists preferably of end members 1 and 2 and front and back members 3 and A, which are preferably constructed of a single piece of angle-iron of suflicient length to be bent into the desired shape. The base portion of the angle-iron in its developed length is adapted to be notched as at 5, thereby forming a miter When the angle-iron is bent up in the desired shape.

Triangular pieces 6, cut in the proper shape are soldered or svveated on at the cor ners over the mitered edges in order to properly stillen the frame at this point. 7, indicates a plurality of triangular rubber or leather blocks or other suitable material which are adapted to be placed in the corners of the frame as illustrated to'form a Specification of Letters Patent.

serial No. 221,456,

cushioning means for the canteen 8, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

The rear side member L1, is provided with an opening- 9, and the front member 3, is provided With a notch 10, open on one side as illustrated.

This opening and slot 9 and 10, are adapted to receive projections 11 and 12 arranged on the front and rear sides of the canteen which are adapted to be received within the opening' 9, and the slot 10, the member 11, being held Within the slot 10 by a suitable latch 12', pivoted as at 13, to the front edge 3, of the frame and of sufficient length to bridge over the projection 11, of the canteen and pass under the lug 141 struck up from the front portion 3, thereby securely holding the canteen within the rectangular frame. i

Headed bolts 15-15 are adapted to pass through the base portion of the triangular pieces Gand be received in suitable openings in the ruiming' board of the automobile in 0rder to securely fasten the device in position. 1t is obvious that We have devised a verjT simple and eflicient supporting frame and one from which the canteen is readily attached to or detached from and one wherein the most of the ar is taken up in the frame, thereby relieving the canteen of as much strain or undue shaking as possible.

We claim:

A base support consisting of a rectangular frame having triangular corner pieces to make it rigid and provided at opposite points with closed and open slots adapted to receive projections on a canteen and a suitable latch pivoted to the frame in position to engage and secure the projection in the open slot.

In testimony whereof wewaiix our signatures.
